Question

which action is an example of how engineering affects science?
a. forming a hypothesis to test by using a telescope
b. developing a telescope that can detect the most distant galaxies
c. discovering new ways to use a telescope to study the sun
d. observing the stars visible from your backyard with a telescope

Explanation:

To determine which action shows engineering affecting science, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Forming a hypothesis is a scientific step, not about engineering's impact.
• Option B: Developing a telescope (engineering) to detect distant galaxies (science) directly shows engineering enabling scientific discovery.
• Option C: Discovering new telescope uses is more about application, not engineering's effect on science.
• Option D: Observing stars is a scientific observation, not related to engineering's impact.

Answer:

B. Developing a telescope that can detect the most distant galaxies
